FDIC schedules five more auctions of failed bank assets

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has announced five more loan auctions, covering approximately $195 million in assets from three failed banks.

 

All of the assets have the dubious distinction of originating with banks that were so far gone when regulators intervened that no other institutions were willing to take them over.

 

Three of the auctions feature assets from the failed Barnes Banking Co. of Kaysville, Utah, which was closed by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions on January 15. The Federal Reserve Board had issued a prompt corrective action orderd against Barnes just four days earlier.

 

The FDIC created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Kaysville to resolve the bank's business after it failed to find a buyer.  The three auctions--all with April 6, 2010 bid dates--consist of approximately $68.5 million in various performing and non-performing loans.

 

The assets are being marketed by the advisory firm of Garnet Capital Advisors, which will also conduct the sales.

 

The largest of the Barnes-related auctions consists of $46.7 million in performing and nonperforming commercial and consumer loans, divided into three groups.  The first pool consists of 248 commmercial and industrial loans totaling nearly $26 million. According to the sales announcement, 73 percent of the pool is performing.

 

The second pool comprises 34 Small Business Association 504 Loans amounting to nearly $17.7 million. The sale announcement said 92 percent of that pool is performing.  The third and smallest pool contains 520 Consumer Loans with a balance of $3.12 million.  Seventy-four percent of that pool is classified as performing.

 

The next-largest Barnes auction consists of 86 performing and nonperforming agricultural loans.  As might be expected, the 86 Loans are performing at a very low level:  about 15 percent.  The current outstanding balance is about $20.5 million.

 

The final and smallest Barnes auction includes nearly $1.3 million in credit card accounts.  The 1,578 accounts are performing at 93 percent. The FDIC said all of those accounts will be bid in a single pool.

 

The fourth FDIC auction features assets from the failed Silverton Bank of Atlanta, which was shuttered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on May 1, 2009.  Silverton was a commercial bank that did not deal directly with consumers but provided services to its client banks.


The FDIC created the Silverton Bridge Bank N.A. to help client banks transition their accounts to other lenders with as little disruption as possible.

 

The FDIC's loan sales Web page states only that the Silverton portfolio contains about 110,000 credit card accounts with a balance of  $118 million.  The Silverton sale also has an April 6 bid date, but the assets are being marketed by First Annapolis Capital Inc.


The FDIC offered no information on the ratio of performing to nonperforming loans.  First Annapolis said on its Web site that approximately 53 percent of the portfolio are consumer credit cards and approximately 47 percent are business cards  business.  It also claims that the average credit bureau score is about 736.

 

The fifth and final FDIC auction is a mix of commercial and industrial loans and consumer loans from the failed Citizens State Bank, of New Baltimore, Mich., which was shut down by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation on Dec. 18.

 

The FDIC subsequently formed the Deposit Insurance National Bank of New Baltimore when it failed to find a purchaser for the institution.  The loans will be bid in two pools: the first consists of 52 commercial and industrial loans in Michigan totaling $5.7 million; the second consists of 94 consumer loans in Michigan with a balance of about $736,000.

 

The sale, marketed by Eastdil Secured, has a March 23, 2010 bid date.  The FDIC offered no information on the ratio of performing to nonperforming loans. Nor did Eastdil Secured on the public sections of its Web site.
